Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1086742, member: 1737"] Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6h6 hours ago @MHver3 The Big 10 would take Oklahoma with Texas. But Texas/boosters have no interest in Big 10. Boren looks at B1G as a positive option MHver3 @MHver3 · 19h 19 hours ago Don't know why B1G never really showed interest in the Sooners though. I'd just take them and UT and call it a day. Academic snobbery? Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6h6 hours ago @MHver3 It's not so much academic snobbery as its about OU not being a big enough research school. But OU exception would be made w/Texas Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6h6 hours ago @MHver3 OU entrance into B1G in 16/17 would have helped Delany greatly with new tier 1 negotiations...but Big 12 GOR stops it for now. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6h6 hours ago @MHver3 OU and Boren have a building relationship with Delany, Texas does not. Texas built it's parachute out of LHN with INDY/ACC not B1G Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 4h3 hours ago @chad_rice @MHver3 Boren knows he has friends with ADs of the Big 10....all of the West. But Texas is cold to B1G for various reasons. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempireflugempire @RedhawkLand @chad_rice @MHver3 schools own a slice of the 49% of the BTN (FOX 51%). OU is watching...and talking to B1G. There is no doubt Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 4h 4 hours ago @chad_rice @MHver3 OU has pressure to bring along OSU..but it has been surpassed by pressure to increase exposure of their brand nationally Greg Flugaur @flugempire • 3h 3 hours ago @RedhawkLand @chad_rice @MHver3 I can confirm OU has been pitched scenarios and it will continue..but TX is cold to B1G. Boosters icy [/QUOTE]
